A fall paper shredding day, held in partnership with the Town of Dartmouth, will take place from 9 a.m. to noon (or until the shred truck is full) Saturday, Sept. 24 at New Bedford High School, located at 230 Hathaway Boulevard, at the Parker Street entrance.

When participants reach the shred truck, staff will remove boxes from the trunk of their vehicles, empty them into a recycle bin, and return boxes to participants. 

There is no residency requirement for this event.

Individuals may bring up to two boxes of paper. Each box should weigh no more than 40 pounds. Paper clips and staples do not need to be removed, but paper should be removed from folders and binders.
